Ar an ceathrú lá is fiche de mí Iúil, scríobh Hamish Macdonald: Now I look into it, XEmacs does leave the parsing of the DISPLAY variable to the X11 libraries. Still, a lot of the point of X11 is that programs written with one version of the libraries can display on servers written with another version of the libraries, even on another architecture; randomly changing the format of the string makes that harder. (In practice, people should be tunnelling the X11 connection over SSH, where this won’t matter, as far as I can see; SSH passes the DISPLAY string to xauth(1), it doesn’t do the parsing itself.) -- “Apart from the nine-banded armadillo, man is the only natural host of Mycobacterium leprae, although it can be grown in the footpads of mice.” -- Kumar & Clark, Clinical Medicine, summarising improbable leprosy research _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
